Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Actually… She Had a Crush Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Actually… She Had a Crush That was their first time together, and the impression was deeply etched in her memory.
However, those sweet moments now only left a sour feeling.
“What are you thinking about?”
Sensing her fluctuating emotions, Lu Hualiang frowned.
Xia Weibao looked up, eyes rimmed with red, and shook her head, “It’s nothing.”
“Why the tears? I’ve already gone along with you.”
That sentence made Xia Weibao’s heart churn with sourness.
“Director Lu, thank you.”
He was the kindest man she had met, besides Emperor Xia Liang.
“You are really nice,” Xia Weibao whispered.
If she were not the Empress Bao from a thousand years ago, if she truly were the Xia Weibao of the twenty-first century, if she really were just the wife of Lu Hualiang.
She thought, she would definitely fall in love with this man.
But unfortunately, there are no what-ifs.
She was not the real Xia Weibao, just a lonely soul from the Great Xia Kingdom, with her beloved His Majesty.
“Knowing I’m nice, why don’t you try to fall in love with me?”
Xia Weibao opened her mouth, actually… she had been touched.
But, fate played cruel tricks.
Returning to the main villa, Lu Hualiang went to change his clothes.
As a modern man, wearing ancient clothes always felt strange to him.
Yet Xia Weibao held him back, urging him not to change yet and to have dinner first.
So she could look at him a little longer.
The wife’s request, Director Lu would never refuse.
Dinner was ready just in time, so they ate first.
This was the first time she kept her gaze fixed on him during a meal, continuously serving him dishes.
Lu Hualiang couldn’t identify the feeling in his heart.
Through him, who was she seeing?
After the meal, Xia Weibao had no reason to keep wearing that outfit and reluctantly went upstairs to change.
The moment she pushed open the door to the master bedroom, she froze.
Stepping back, she covered her mouth with both hands, incredulously staring at the scene within the room.
Suddenly, a man’s voice came from behind, “Do you like it?”
Xia Weibao was so shocked she couldn’t speak.
He had actually transformed their room into an exact replica of the ancient tomb!
Which was also the bedchamber from a thousand years ago she shared with the Dog Emperor.
Such a familiar scene.
So familiar that it pained her heart.
Xia Weibao’s voice was choked, and she couldn’t continue.
Her heart surged with waves at that moment.
A wave of passion seemed ready to burst forth.
It was impossible not to be moved.
A man who had no regrets for her sake to such an extent, how could she not be moved!
“As long as you are happy, it’s good,” he said.
“What about you?” Xia Weibao was somewhat agitated,
And even a bit angry.
She wasn’t sure what she was angry about, just that she felt it.
Lu Hualiang looked at her face, “You don’t need to feel burdened. Whatever I choose to do is my own decision.
I only have one request, stay by my side.”
He never truly knew what happiness was before.
His childhood had been too dark, and before Xia Weibao appeared, all his efforts were spent on treating Zhong Wanshu and Lu Huashan’s illnesses.
It was okay that she didn’t love him now, okay that she had someone else in her heart, as long as she stayed with him, he believed that one day, he would make her fall in love with him.
From childhood to adulthood, he never failed to get what he wanted.
Her heart would be no different!
Lu Hualiang pinched her soft cheek, “Smile a bit, you haven’t smiled much these past few days.”
Xia Weibao sniffled, after everything that had happened, how could she smile.
She walked in, it was exactly the same, truly an exact copy.
How had he managed to recreate her bedchamber from a thousand years ago?
